Arrival
Dusk grimaced as the light struck his eyes past his hat. He pulled his hat lower as he stepped off the airship and started walking the path to Beacon. He snickered a little behind his cowl at the blonde boy vomiting into the trash. Dusk continued to observe some of the other students as they walked off the ship, including the red girl and yellow girl he could only assume were sisters. He let his gaze wonder a little more until he got bored and pulled out his book. Just as he opened the book back to his page, he heard a very familiar voice shout, "Duuuuuuuuuuuuusk!" Sighing, he closed his book and put it away just in time to be tackled from behind by a fox faunus dressed in brown. He softened their landing by rolling into the grass off the path and when they landed Dusk could see his assailant laying on top of him. A fox faunus with her brown hair in twintails was hugging him and all he could do was hug her back and smile. "Hey Marron," Dusk said, "would you mind letting me stand back up?" She laughed and bouncing off of him pulled him back to his feet. She feigned a pout and protested, "You said you'd wait for me!" Dusk patted her head and replied, "You were taking too long and the airship was getting stuffy." She laughed again and put a smile on as they continued their walk to Beacon. Dusk was listening to her ramble on until another student caught his attention. There was a very shy looking girl sitting in the grass. She had green rimmed glasses to match her green jacket and pants as well as her green hair. "Duuuuuuusk," Marron interrupted his reverie, "were you even listening to me?" He didn't respond as he continued to gaze at this interesting girl. Marron finally followed his gaze, "Already in love, Dusk?" she teased. "W-what? No, absolutely not!" Dusk denied as he blushed, "She just seems so innocent and misplaced. I'm just curious as to what brought her here."
"Soooo...go talk to her then," Marron mused. "I will later, for now lets just get to the assembly." With that statement Dusk led Marron towards the main hall of Beacon.
Marron and Dusk entered the main hall and Dusk was actually surprised to see just how many new students there were. Once they found a spot to stand to wait for Ozpin's announcement, Dusk noticed a very sultry girl dress in red with a bow hanging across her back. Feeling unnerved which was unusual for the calm and collected Huntsman-in-Training, he stepped to the other side of Marron where he found himself right next to the blonde girl and the girl with the silver eyes. What Dusk missed was that Marron put her foot out to trip him and he ended up tumbling into the blonde one. They fell to the ground in a pile of limbs. Dusk moved to get up and put one hand on the floor and felt his other hand on something soft and round. When he turned to look, he saw the the girl blushing and he looked to where his hand was. That's...that's her, Dusk thought. He quickly pulled his hand away, "I'm sorry," he said as he backed away and stood up, "MARRON!" Dusk yelled. He turned back and put his hand out to help the blondie back to her feet, but she was already standing and her face was fading back to it's normal color. As if nothing happened the blonde looked at Dusk and simply asked with a smile, "Did you like what you felt?" Now it was Dusk's turn to turn red, thankfully his cowl covered most of it. He looked at Marron who was giggling and then he glanced back at this girl, "W-well...I uhhh su-" Dusk stopped and dashed into the crowd to hide in the shadows. This is so unlike me, he thought, we haven't even started at this school yet and I'm already losing my composure. Dusk closed his eyes and sat there waiting for Ozpin to start his damn speech already.
After a short while later, Dusk's wait came to an end. He heard the microphone static and looked up to see Ozpin. He didn't really pay attention to the noise coming out of the Headmaster's mouth, he was just grateful that it was closer to the next day. After being dismissed and heading to the main hall, all Dusk wanted to do was get there and sleep. He was already annoyed at this day's happenings, and a little angry at Marron. As he entered the hall to find a secluded spot in it, he accidentally bumped into a bigger guy wearing armor. "Hey! Watch where you're going!" the brute yelled. Dusk ignored and walked around him. Angrily, his would-be assailant grabbed his shoulder and turned him around. "You listen when I talk to you!" Dusk just stared back. Suddenly this man raised his fist and was poised to strike when Dusk finally responded, though not with words. The shadows around Dusk enveloped him and just like that he disappeared. confused, his attacker turned and Dusk reappeared and bashed him over the head with both his fists, knocking him unconscious. The other students who saw were in awe of the shadowed assault. Dusk turned and raised an eyebrow, "What? He started it," he said. With that Dusk walked away and found a corner with no one else near it. Removing his cloak he turned it into a pillow and closed his eyes.
Interrupted again, Dusk awoke to a very sing song voice aimed at him, "Heeeeelllllooooo!" Dusk opened his eyes and immediately his face started turning red. It was the blonde girl from before. He saw that it was only her so he calmed down and composed himself before she got too close. He looked up and replied, "Hey...I never got your name before."
"And I never got your answer," she retorted. Dusk's face stayed moderately red. "Is my answer going to get me your name?" he asked.
"It just might," she stated with a smile on her face as she sat down next to him. "Well?" she mused. Dusk chuckled a little bit and calmed down. "If you must know...yes it felt very nice," he said and shyly looked away. What the fuck is wrong with me, he dreaded to himself, she's just another person. Just talk normally.
He could hear her sweet laugh, "I'm Yang. And you're...?"
"Dusk. Dusk Ebonshroud. And I am sorry about what happened earlier." he apologized again.
She rested a hand on his arm and Dusk inhaled quietly, "It's alright Dusk," she started, "I saw your fox friend trip you." She laughed again. Dusk was already in love with her voice and her laugh...and her hair, it was absolutely gorgeous. Dusk finally responded, "Yeah...she just loves to have fun. I can't really be mad at her. It's who she is." he stated happily, Dusk could feel his face go back to normal and he had a big grin under his cowl.
"She seems really nice. I'd like to meet her," Yang sleepily said. Dusk felt more weight on his arm and heard light snoring. He looked down and saw the blonde girl sleeping on his arm. Well, I won't complain, he thought wryly. Dusk settled in again and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Well...this took a lot longer than I thought it would. Between work and my own inability to break Writer's Block. *sighs* I'll have more tonight though. Now this is all I can think of and write.
